You are welcome DanC...glad to input my contribution. Luis

Hi DanC, I'll give the action that should be recommended for beginers IF ever encounter this issue again... After followed your steps as described above....I though the only solution here was to CLEAN software version... I had delete/moved all reference to Affinity from my PC. Reload a new version as it is for new user of the App. Results I got everything back the way it's ought to be. Keep in mind a simple issue to fix specially if the person is new to this whole experience. For future reference and I can praise your responses in keeping the level of understanding specially for the newers. Cheers Luis

Thankyou DanC, I'm glad that finally my issue is understood. I believe that my frustration over pass the calm and serenity, specially when you're not finding the correct answers to your problem. I wanted to see this as Customer Support that resolved issue at various level (obviously was not). I had explained at from my simple problem, very simple I can see you have the right word to the issue which is apreciated. More on that I had followed your instructions and relaunched the App to find it as it was in the original state when I bought this software. Until now nothing has change the issue still appear to be the same. I had attached the screenshot to see the current state...do you have any other solution? Appreciate you time and pacience on this, thanks Luis

You not follow me.... When I said under Brushed panel your menu should display several other options for brushes... the Free trial version contains all that ...the new (paid ) version have NOTHING....except for the 'Painting' brushes I downloaded from one of the guys in this forum called Leigh...Is this too difficult to understand ? I seen, that all those options that you can move the panel and resize the brushes ect... I'm refering to the list of Brushes that was in the FREE version and is not in the updated version 1.8.5.....JUST FOLLOW THE ATTACHED IMAGE , RCR. Obviously you don't solve software issues and don't know the solution...it would be good, that someone with the knowleged of the Affinity Backend can give me a proper advise... I can reinstall the software just send the instructions, simple...maybe is an issue with my machine...don't know! MORE OVER On affScrn2.png as you see (attached) don't have Styles in the Style panel either (taken from the Afinity Manual as despicted on affScrn3.png)

Hi RCR thank you for your reply. As I said I'm new to Affinity and probably my jargon is not correct. Find attached a Pic of the issue. When I was in the free preview version, under photo persona I was able to see a full menu under Brushes, next Histogram,Colors, Swatches...after I purchased the software these menu did not appears anymore Are you with me? I download from Leigh a small portion of that feature "Painting"...but I have nothing else as in the past.... Hope that's clear as mud...! Luis

I found a partial solution from Leigh... BUT, I got Painting menu ONLY....not the full menu... Bummer! I'm getting frustrated Luis

Hi There I've just purchase Affinity Photo, which asked me to update to the latest version 1.8.5.. In doing so I don't have the Brushes menu or anything related to brushes. Anyone can assist me on how to restore the menu??? Thanks in advance Luis Tapia OZ
